A NEW BEGINNING

Even though i like the new-age idea of expanding consciousness, i'm critical of a lot of the methods of doing this.

How can we discover our full human potential, without using all of our senses?

By exclusively focusing, we are presently missing something extraordinarily basic about the nature of life.

The Animal Way

presence, is normally understood as a result of grace, long years of prayer, forgiveness, moral living, and devotion.

But by using the senses as animals do – the active direct panoramic awareness to change happening here and now in our local environment – we can experience a degree of oneness, in a matter of days or weeks.

It is ridiculous to ignore this experience just because it divorces oneness from its normal religious context.

And it's blind for agnostics, atheists, and sceptics to reject the experience just because it reminds them of religion.

Panoramic sensing doesn't require any faith, any morality, codes of conduct, laws and commandments, or belief. But there's no need to give up any other belief (unless it's so closed-minded that it rejects what animals can teach us). It also doesn't involve any money, secret initiations, oaths of allegiance, or clever theories.

Forgiveness, devotion, or even social morality, can develop far more easily as a result of experiencing oneness, rather than as preparation for it.

This isn't a new belief, it's just something we were born with which we have inadvertantly supressed.

It's a natural condition, it's basic to life, it belongs to everyday human experience.

New Perspectives

If we go back to the "Who am I?" "Why am I?" questions – and ask "Am I all I could be?" "What is my potential?"

The panoramic mode of perception adds a totally new dimension to the basic human psychology. It changes the fundaments of human potential and experience.

This would change individuals, relationships and society in general. I can only dream about how it would develop, if we trained it early in our children, simultaneously with focusing.

What possible harm could there be in doing what every other animal does to stay safe?

It's a new perspective on what it means to be alive and real. A new depth of what it means to be human.
